"Not a lot of options here, but the Majestic is grossly overpriced so the Lodge is your only option for a traditional hotel experience. Staff is hit or miss - some were great, some were very disinterested. Restaurant was decent but again, great busboy, lousy waitress. Rooms are comfortable but nothing special. Location is excellent for access to Valley activities."

"There was some areas under construction and off limits but otherwise the lodge offered great amenities. It was super convenient to have restaurants and a small grocery selection on site. The location could not have been better being just outside the park entrance. This is definitely the lesser used entrance and I never had a wait to get in to the park. "
"Awesome location in the heart of the valley. Not hard core camping but you get the feel. Awesome for families and little ones. Restrooms and showers all over the place and well maintained. Food and restaurants on site a plus."
"Travelers should ignore the bad reviews this property got, especially if booking a cabin or tent cabin. We had a great experience! Super convenient to the south entrance of Yosemite. The basic cabin was so cute and I’d definitely stay there again. It had a kitchen, coffee maker, fire pit and picnic table and chairs outside. It wasn’t cold at all but if traveling in winter months you may want to bring a portable heater. My friend stayed in a tent cabin and it was very nice, looked newly remodeled with nice floors. The check in process was very smooth. They even have a well stocked store with firewood and all camping essentials. I’ve been to several glamping sites and was impressed with my experience at Indian Flat. 5 stars!"
"This place was epic. The house was immaculate with that perfect cabin feel. Hot tub was clean and exactly what we needed for the evenings. The pool table was great. The kitchen was large and had everything we needed and then some. We came to get married and this place was the perfect place to start our new life together. We did our first look in the forest behind the house under a perfectly arched tree. Our pups loved it too!"
"Old, fixures are falling off the wall, thermostat is hard to find and hard to operate. Mattresses are old and back breaking and you fall inside them. Nothing in the kitchen to help you cook a meal. No firewood ready to light a fire and enjoy the cabin. These are all small things that the host can fix to make the experience 100 times better"
Peace of Mine - Cabin inside Yosemite! - Dog Friendly!
10/10 Excellent
"The cabin and all amenities were perfect. We enjoyed talking with the owners who happened to be staying nearby. The stay exceeded expectations in every way. Wowona is a great location to access the Yosemite Valley (50 minutes) and lots of fun hikes and activities around the cabin. "
